WHEN THE BULLY GETS SMACKED

Discussed by Robert Knight
with Washington Times Columnist (Washington Times)

The Family Research Council (FRC) has been on the Southern Poverty of Law Center’s (SPLC) “hate map” for years. However, things may be taking a different turn after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has written to the IRS asking for an investigation into the tax-exempt status of the SPLC. Sen. Cotton has described the SPLC as a "racist and sexist slush fund devoted to defamation".

Robert Knight is a frequent guest on The What’s UP Radio Program, discussing a wide range of issues. He is also the author of several books, including his two newest books “A Strong Constitution: What Would America Look Like If We Followed the Law?” and “A Nation Worth Fighting For: 10 Steps to Restore Freedom”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What and who is the Southern Poverty Law Center? Robert Knight reminds us of what happened several years ago at the FRC headquarters….

Is the SPLC now ensnared in its own scandal regarding racist and sexism?

Should the MSM and corporate America refrain from using the SPLC as a source until it cleans up its hateful act and stops smearing people?

TORAH FOR LIVING

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Mark Lanier has a brand-new devotional book out: “Torah for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance.”

Listen as Terry Lowry shares today’s devotion from from from Exodus 30:34-38

God DOES exist! He purposefully instructs us NOT to use idols to prove His existence. But, has anyone ever mocked your belief in God? Did they demand some show from you and God to prove that He exists? Mark has had this happened more than once! He writes about a Professor from a secular college who once challenged him.

IS GOD A GOD OF FAITH OR SCIENCE? PART 1

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 3

Is God a God of faith or a God of science? This is a very controversial topic that is not discussed nearly enough, especially in Baptist churches.

Over the next few weeks, Mark Lanier will unpack this question. While he does, he wants you to keep an open mind. Lay aside any biases you may have and listen very closely to all the evidence he presents.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why do people choose faith over medicine?
1. Religious conflicts
2. Controversy in society
3. Medical uncertainty – Mark offers several examples of this conflict…

Are faith and science opposite views? Mark says: “This is not the biblical view!”

So… what DOES the Bible teach about science?
Take Responsibility!

Mark uses the Scientific Method to explain….

Scripture References: Genesis 2:15; 1 Samuel 1:12; and Isaiah 2:11-12.
